Advice About Academia

Today at the MedSci research day - the first since the pandemic, I was invited to give a keynote touching on themes of work-life balance. It’s my first in-person talk not about my science since… well… since back in the teaching Salsa days. It was a real treat to have such a large, rapt, and engaged audience, although the irony of a talk on work-life-balance finished at 11:45 the night before isn’t lost on me. Also, it wasn’t even the biggest lab event of the day… more on that later.
